Question

Two initially uncharged capacitors, of capacitance C and 2C, are connected in series across a battery. Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false.

a.) The charge across each capacitor is the same.

b.) The energy stored by each capacitor is the same.

c.) The 2C capacitor carries twice the charge of the other capacitor.

d.) The voltage across each capacitor is the same.

I have already tried these combinations: (F, F, T, T); (F, F, F, T); (F, F, T, F) and they are not correct.

Explanation / Answer

The voltage across each capacitor is the same: FALSE The energy stored by each capacitor is the same: FALSE The 2C capacitor carries twice the charge: FALSE The charge acorss each capacitor is the same: TRUE
